Back in 2019 we published a brief piece on the H.W. Cooey Machine and Arms Company which contained a link to a great article on the history of said company which was ultimately purchased by Savage Arms in 1995 to provide them with a means to re-enter the rimfire market. This evening, while browsing through some older articles on one of my favorite publication's website I stumbled upon yet another excellent article on Cooey and it's history. This article goes more in-depth on Hebert William Cooey himself, and also provides a bit more detailed information of what happened with the company after first his son Hubert's death in 1957 and then his own passing in 1962.
Be sure to read the article clear to the end as there's a very interesting story regarding a Cree woman who killed a record setting grizzly bear with her well worn and abused Cooey Ace 22 rimfire rifle in Slave Lake, Alberta.
